Passing data to two servlets?

[mallikarjun dontamsetti]

Is it possible to pass same form data to different servlets at a time
Thanks

I did not get what you are going but if you are for example filling a form with fields on multiple servlets you can simply use a java Bean to save the data and retrieve the bean wherever you want in your application.

Can't do it through form action; but could achieve it through javascript. see XMLHttpRequest

I want to send the form data directly, not by using another controller(servlet) or setting a bean.because i have to edit my previous servlet(which we are using in the application).So please tell me how to invoke two servlets from one html/jsp.

What if the form is on a .html file, how do you access your bean there to fill it with form data?

I am just getting required fields in the servlet and using there only

What do you mean by editing the previous servlet?

In my application we have to add some module. we are using a servlet to act as controller.We have to add some more fields to jsp(Form) and the controller for new module will be another servlet(As my lead said) it is working separate from main servlet. i have to give only few fields(newly added and some old) to new servlet.So i am searching for passing data for multiple servlets at a time.If there is any possibility please suggest me.
Thanks for replies....All

Why aren't you accepting all the data in one servlet and passing the only the relevant data to the next servlet from this servlet?

[mallikarjun dontamsetti]

As i said above i have no option (my lead is the boss) he doesn't want the communication between two servlets or setting/extending bean class

I don't think you can do this by a single form submission. Servlet specification does not provide such a feature as per my understanding. But you can consider AJAX for talking to other servlet(s) while you are on the form which are triggered by form events, is this feasible for you?

It has nothing to do with servlets at all but with HTTP.

And yes, Ajax is the most likely recourse.

If you don't want to use AJAX the other option is using multiple Iframes and post the form using java script . While posting set the target of the form = name of the Iframe.
